Russia appears to be trying to evade Western sanctions on its LNG tanker fleet by transferring ownership of vessels to a newly-created firm based in a free trade zone in Dubai
, Bloomberg reported on Friday. Three LNG tankers, previously managed by the Russia n companies Gazprom and Sovcomflot , now have a new owner, a Dubai -based firm. The vessels Velikiy Novgorod, Pskov, and La Perouse saw aspects of their management transferred to Matias Ship Management, the newly established company in Dubai , in September, Bloomberg reported, citing global shipping database Equasis.
Velikiy Novgorod was slapped with sanctions just yesterday as the UK imposed the largest round of sanctions to date against Russia’s shadow fleet, designating an additional 18 oil tankers and four LNG tankers as it seeks to cut critical revenues for Vladimir Putin.
